After rebirth, she first killed the book thief, and she was busy writing articles to save people

Jiang Baige was surprised at first, because Lin Xingran had only mentioned before that he liked the article and wanted to publish it, but had never formally discussed this matter with her.

Jiang Baige also knew that the copyright of the novel was not completely in her hands. The website held the agency rights. Even if she had negotiated the copyright herself, she still had to share the profits with the website.

In her previous life, her online writing had never reached the stage of selling copyrights, so she had no experience in how to proceed with this matter.

So she didn't take Lin Xingran's "interest" too seriously.

But because she didn't take it to heart, Lin Xingran took the initiative to promote the matter, which made her feel soothed and warm in her heart.

She asked: "Is it because the heroine succeeded in her revenge but escaped legal sanctions in the end, so some people are worried that it might not be published?"

Now it was Lin Xingran's turn to be surprised: "How did you know?"

Jiang Baige smiled in her heart. Of course she knew it, because her work in her previous life was closely related to this.

Whether in the previous life or this life, the words "I want to write novels" are the unwavering passion throughout her life.

The difference is that in her previous life, before she turned 30, she was always worried that writing wouldn’t support her, so she found a job after graduation. But if she was asked to do a job that had nothing to do with writing, she really didn’t want to, so she ended up being an editor.

But she got one thing wrong: although both are about words, writing and editing are two different things.

It's like the Chinese language test has composition and reading comprehension, writing is composition, editing is reading comprehension. She has always been good at composition - either model essays, or completely off-topic because she failed to read the pictures, but anyway, it's good for everyone in the grade; but reading comprehension is not her strong point.

However, she didn't know this when she first became an editor. She only knew that it was also related to writing, and that it shouldn't be very busy, so she would have plenty of spare time to write.

It's just that she is not very good at editing. When she reads, she has the mentality of a reader. She likes the book and the author, but she doesn't know how to sign the book, sell it, and make everyone like it.

Moreover, editors are not ordinary readers after all, especially those who have just entered the industry. It is impossible for them to publish books based on their own preferences. There will always be some things that they don’t like so much - just like live streaming sales, there are thousands of categories, how is it possible to have used them all?

Jiang Baige was at a loss as to what to do with these books.

On the other hand, she underestimated how exhausting the work was. It wasn't that the work was so busy. Compared with the later 996 and 007, they didn't work much overtime. But the problem was that in such a company, there were too many people who were either busy with work or busy with "labor struggles".

People like Jiang Baige and Lin Xingran who are unwilling to get involved and just want to work hard are destined to have no way out.

They will be passively drawn into those fights, just like passers-by and supporting characters in old idol dramas or romance novels, inexplicably having to make sacrifices for the protagonist's earth-shattering love.

——The protagonists have to break up in the heavy rain, and passers-by will also be soaked by the sudden heavy rain.

The protagonists quarreled and smashed plates in a restaurant, and the waiter's workload of cleaning and tidying up was unexpectedly increased, but his salary did not increase by a single cent.

And so on.

Because they are "unimportant existences", no one cares about their life or death. Instead, they are happy to drag them out to take the blame, as if they don't fight which means they don't care. Since they don't care, it doesn't matter if they take the blame.

Jiang Baige was in such a vortex. Her work was done in a mess and she had to take the blame, quarrel, and patch up holes from time to time. After work, she lay down in her small rental house. How could she have time to write?

She didn't give up completely, but it was still far from what she expected.

Otherwise she wouldn't have decided to quit her job.

"Actually, this wasn't a formal topic selection meeting, but it was probably inspired by the abduction case you were involved in before, and I recently discussed Senior Sister Jing's new book, so I thought of your book. I told Teacher Dugu about it once, and she asked me to give it a try, so I made a topic selection form and submitted it to her."

Lin Xingran's words interrupted Jiang Baige's memories.

"So what does Mr. Dugu think of this result?"

"She and I had similar ideas. We both thought it was a problem with the ending... Actually, this was my first time dealing with online publishing..."

Lin Xingran also talked about the differences between publishing and online literature. According to Dugu He, basically all online literature publishing needs major revisions, not to mention Jiang Baige's work which has major problems with the ending.

If the heroine can successfully escape after taking revenge, it will obviously be a challenge to the rule of law society.

No editor or publisher would allow such a book to be published—there are too many hidden dangers.

Another problem is that Jiang Baige is a small author and a newcomer, and the data of this novel can only be described as average.

However, Dugu He read the story and thought the subject matter was acceptable. There are not many books of this kind nowadays, and if it can be published, it would be considered to seize the initiative.

"The worst that can happen is that we can just sell it at a lower price." Lin Xingran smiled and repeated Dugu He's words, and then asked Jiang Baige, "If it's very cheap, would you sell it?"

"of course."

Even if it's only tens of thousands of yuan, it's much better than the royalties when it was serialized.

Everyone who has written serials online knows that the "long tail effect" of old articles can only be achieved by relying on the pull of new articles. But the article she wrote on her second account was written for Bai Yang, and she did not write a new article after it was finished.

But it’s hard to say now. Maybe she will really try to write down everything she experienced in Wangnan Village as her mother suggested.

When she told Lin Xingran this idea, Lin Xingran was very happy, but also had some worries.

"What's your point of entry? How do trafficked women escape their predicament? Or another perspective? For example, your senior sister's story, or yours and Siwen's? How can you be dramatic without focusing on the victims?"

From Lin Xingran's questions, Jiang Baige seemed to see her discussing her new book with Jingchai.

"But that's very difficult. Otherwise, romance novels wouldn't opportunistically hurt the heroine to arouse the readers' anger, and then let her take revenge on the bad guys, so that readers can get a sense of pleasure from reading. But yours is different. You have seen people who have experienced this kind of pain in real life. Can you still take advantage of their pain?"

Lin Xingran didn't even wait for Jiang Baige to answer, and answered for her: "You can't do it, Baige, I bet you can't do it."

She was right, Jiang Baige couldn't do it.

At this time, Lin Xingran sighed again: "In fact, Senior Sister Jing and I encountered this problem when we were discussing her new book... One is how the revenge should end, and the other is, to what extent should the heroine be hurt before her revenge can be allowed?"
